Sacrifice

We die One Thousand deaths.
They held us close to taste the flames.
A sacrifice.
To pacify the god they've made.
The stench of stagnant blood.
Collects in pools of misery they drained from us and stained themselves in blasphemy.
We are the sacrifice.
Our tainted offering.
We are the sacrifice.
Now you will share our suffering.
We steal a final breath.
A tattered veil averts our eyes from their hypocrisy.
Their cruel intent hidden by lies.
The silence lingering.
Like the condemned waiting to die.
In darkest red.
Reflecting black beneath the light.
We are the sacrifice.
Our tainting offering.
We are the sacrifice.
Now you will share our suffering.
In the eyes of our father.
From the tears of our mother, shame...
We are the sacrifice.
Our tainted offering.
We are the sacrifice.
Now you will share our suffering.
